MILLION DOLLAR LIBRARY AT NORTH GEORGIA
North Georgia College has moved into Its new $1
million library, a three-story ultra-modern facility to replace
Its inadequate Stewart Library Building constructed in 1939.
Constructed with native stone trim in the same architectural
style as the North Georgia Student Center completed last year,
the building is located between the Center and Dunlap Hall.
Actual library construction was completed in late October, and
the moving of some 90,000 books and other documents took
approximately one month.
The as yet unnamed library Includes some $150,000 worth
of equipment. Of this amount, half was contributed to North
Georgia by the Callaway Foundation, Inc., for the purchase of
furniture, carrels, audio-visual equipment, resource and related
materials.
Among features of the new library are a microfilm room with
a film-flche reader, climate and humidity control, a public
address system, six private listening carrels, others for study,
complete carpeting, an elevator and a stereo music system
for use when desired.
One special feature of the new library is that each area is
arranged In such a manner that no more than 18 students are
seated in one place.
Covering some 34,000 square feet, the facility has individual
seating for 250 students and total seating for 500 students.

Hospital Tree
CHEERFUL ACTIVITIES WERE IN PROGRESS at the Forsyth
County Hospital last week, as the hospital’s Ladies Auxiliary
were happily stringing popcorn on lengthy strand of white
thread with which to adorn the beautiful Christmas Tree In the
spacious lobby. Willing and eager hands holding the long strings
of freshly popped corn are, left to right, Mrs. M.G. Lummus,
Mrs. Pearl Harrison and Mrs. Gloria Markham. The latter
lady is the wife of Hospital Administrator, Louis Markham.
Center photo gives a glimpse of the Christmas tree and two~
of the Auxiliary Ladies looking on critically at the results of
their artistry In threading the vari-colored lights from top to
bottom of the tree. They are, left to right, Hilda Roper and
Bernice Wolfe. Apparently they are pleased with the result.
Bottom photo shows two other members of The Auxiliary
examining the Christmas tree to see if everything is just right.
Giving the tree their joyful approval are, left to right, Grace
Bannett and Glanna Plrkle. They, too, are to be commended for
their fine work In designing a truly beautiful masterpiece of art.

Spring flowering bulbs usu
ally perforin well the first year
after planting. But oftentimes
they are not so successful the
second year and later. Why?-
It could be that they don't
receive enough sunlight, or that
other favorable cultural condi
tions were not carried out.
Trou Keeble, one of our Ex
tension horticulturists, discu
ssed some of the reasons spring
bulbs don't do well after the
first year.
For one thing, permanent pl
antings beneath large trees are
seldom successful. This is be
cause of competition from tree
roots and a generally poor soil.
(Exceptions for planting under
trees are Scillas, Crocus, Wi
nter Aconites and Snowdrops.)
Success after the first year is
also limited in poorly drained
soils. Keeble says wet soggy
soils during the winter make for
conditions that cause rotting
of bulbs. With most bulbs, good
drainage and aeration are
musts. And this means good
surface drainage as well as per
colation through the soil. Sli
ghtly sloping land, plus deep
plowing, spading and the addi
tion of plenty of organic mat
ter, is also necessary.
THE PYRACANTHA
This is the time of year when
pyracanthas put on their best
show. Many people, seeing the
beautiful plants laden with large
clusters of berries, want one
in their own yard.
If you decide to plant a py
racantha, select a location in
full sun. And be sure there is
plenty of room for the plant
to spread out. The pyracantha
grows rather large in time.
Planta are often grown in
containers and offered for sale
in this manner. Be sure to
remove the can atplantlng time.
And don’t forget to water the
plant at least once a week if it
doesn’t rain.
FAST CHICKENS
“Georgia Broilers Travel on
Tight Schedule” is the title of an
article in a recent issue of
THE FARM INDEX, published
by Economic Research Service
of USDA.
The article points out that
today over four-fifths of the
nation’s broilers come from ten
states. “It’s not surprising,
therefore, that the typical U. S.
broiler logs many a mile before
reaching the dinner table,” THE
INDEX stated.
It takes close scheduling to
get the bird from the broiler
house to the consumer in good
condition. The schedule might
go something like this: Monday
morning live birds are trucked
from a Georgia farm to the
processing plant and put imme
diately on the processing line.
By afternoon or early evening,
the broilers have been pro
cessed, chilled, ice-packed and
loaded onto a large truck.
The 18-hour trip to Chicago
begins that night and ends (with
two drivers) Tuesday morning
at the warehouse of a chain
store or wholesale distributor.
On Tuesday and Wednesday the
broilers are distributed to re
County
Agent’s
Report
tail stores and other oulets.
From Wednesday to Friday the
broilers are displayed in low
temperature ref rlgerated retail
counters, and few of them are
likely to remain unsold by late
in the week.
